چکیده
Several experiments are being prepared or conducted at the first phase of the SARAF linac. Two of these experiments are: the Liquid Lithium target and the Foil target. The present report describes the new hardware and software control systems which are currently being built for these experiments.

High-power liquid-lithium jet target for neutron production.
A compact liquid-lithium target (LiLiT) was built and tested with a high-power electron gun at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center. The lithium target, to be bombarded by the high-intensity proton beam of the Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF), will constitute an intense source of neutrons produced by the (7)Li(p,n)(7)Be reaction for nuclear astrophysics research and as a pilot s...
متن کاملHigh-power Lithium Target for Accelerator-based Bnct
A water-cooled conical target for producing neutrons via the Li(p,n)Be reaction at 2.5 MeV is under development at Linac Systems. The target is intended to accept an expanded 50-kW beam from an rf linac, and is predicted to meet the intensity requirements for practical accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in concert with Linac Systems’ CW RFI linac[1]. Lithium metal targets pr...
متن کاملBeamforming for Therapy with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (hifu) Using Quantitative Schlieren
The requirements for beamforming in high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for tissue destruction are substantially different than those for diagnostic imaging. High numerical aperture and CW efficiency are desirable for tissue destruction, while depth of focus and broadband sensitivity are key to good imaging. When the same transducer must be used for ablation and imaging some compromises mu...
متن کاملAnalytical investigation of the practical range and deflection of megavoltage electron beam in the water phantom with the presence of magnetic field
Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...
متن کاملStatus and Challenges of the Spiral2 Facility
SPIRAL2 is a new European Radioactive Ion Beams facility being constructed at the GANIL laboratory (Caen, France). It is based on a High Intensity CW multi-ion Accelerator Driver (Superconducting Linac), delivering beams to a High Power Production system (converter, target, and ion source), producing and post-accelerating Radioactive Ion Beams with intensities never reached before. The major co...
